Li Xiu was very depressed. He had just fired a few cannons and then ran away. Looking at the still burning warship, Li Xiu helplessly ordered a warning.

Everyone is a wooden sailboat, and it is almost impossible to catch up with them by relying on speed. It is better to stay in the port and wash up and sleep. Li Xiu is very worried about Li Xiao. After all, it is Tokugawa Ieyasu's fatal blow, and its power is still

It's no small matter. I don't know if the eldest brother can do it. If the eldest brother is defeated and retreats to the port.

Warships can also be used to provide some artillery support. Li Xiu's tactical thinking was brought out by Li Xiao. Whether it is offense or defense, he attaches great importance to the use of artillery. After all, using cannonballs is much better than using knives.

The one who was even more depressed than Li Xiu was Li Hu. Standing beside him, he didn’t even have a chance to pass on orders. Just standing on the slope and watching, the opposite side was bombarded with artillery fire. Human lives were torn into pieces in the artillery fire like leaves falling in the wind.

.

This was not the battlefield he imagined. This guy was greatly influenced by Ao Canghai and Man Gui.

I always feel that fighting with real swords and guns is the battlefield. In Ao Canghai's words, Li Xiao's tactics are more appropriately called massacres.

The most important thing is that only by killing with real swords and guns can you get military merit. Now in a war like this, you still get nothing but military merit. Who gets the military merit? Cannonballs?

At dawn, the people Li Xiu sent out to investigate came back.

I finally let go of my worries all night long. Big brother is big brother. Overnight, tens of thousands of Tokugawa troops were wiped out. The Tokugawa troops retreated twenty miles and have now entered the stage of cleaning up the battlefield.

After Li Xiu settled things on the ship, he got off the ship and went directly to Li Xiao's camp.

When they arrived at the camp, Li Xiao was in the tent, snoring loudly. When Li Hu saw Li Xiu coming, he turned around and left.

"Are the casualties serious?" Li Xiao saw Man Gui walking around the world. He was carrying a leg of lamb and was gnawing on it.

Most Japanese people eat fish, and there are not many sheep. Obviously, the source of the lamb legs should be Koreans. As an important general of the Ming army, Wu Daji is still very flattering.

"There are no casualties! Damn it, if this continues, I'll have a lot of time to spare." Mangui threw the sheep bones into the charcoal brazier in dissatisfaction.

Li Xiao's tactics left Man Gui no room for improvement. Especially like last night, when the enemy's main force was still there. Li Xiao would never allow Man Gui to charge with his cavalry!

"Isn't it exciting to kill in the first few days?" Li Xiu sat next to Man Gui and handed over a wine bag with a smile.

Mangui took it and took a big gulp, holding it in his mouth for a while before spitting out the alcohol.

"Okay! Our burning knife is strong enough. The Japanese sake is just fucking horse urine."

"This battle probably won't happen, just watch. The Japanese pirates will send people to make peace in the next few days!" Mangui sighed helplessly as he took another sip of the burning knife.

This is a war madman who really likes the feeling of riding on a horse and galloping around with a saber. Now that the war is over, Man Gui can't help but feel a little lonely.

Anyone with a clear eye can see that under Li Xiao's cannon doctrine, the Japanese pirates have no chance of winning. Only fools will continue this kind of war. Now even if Li Xiao wants Tokugawa Ieyasu's wife, that guy will probably give it a try.

Send it over without hesitation.

"I guess so, the Japanese pirates are not stupid either. Last night I killed a few boats led by them, and they escaped as fast as rabbits. They are completely different from the Japanese pirates a few days ago. In this battle, I'm afraid they will

I can’t fight anymore.”

Li Xiu took a fat chicken from Man Gui, tore off a chicken leg and started chewing it.

Mangui and Li Xiu guessed right. Konishi Nagamasa arrived the next day. This Japanese negotiator came to Li Xiao's military tent in a very philistine manner, bowed to Li Xiao at a ninety-degree angle, and then knelt down.

Sitting in front of Li Xiao!

"Chief Commander, General Tokugawa has decided to accept your conditions in full. Please stop the troops immediately!" Without fancy words, Konishi Nagamasa also learned how to go straight to the point with Li Xiao.

"Okay! Since I can't defeat him, Ieyasu Tokugawa is considered a good person if he chooses to accept defeat. Go back and tell him that I accept his peace terms." Li Xiao said calmly.

"You agreed?" Konishi Nagamasa now doubted his hearing, so he agreed? Does it mean that the victor will not attach some conditions? When he came today, Konishi Nagamasa was already ready to bargain.

"I agreed, are there any problems? There are no problems with the Maori lords and the Koreans." Li Xiao made a comprehensive promise.

In fact, both Wu Daji and Maori Huiyuan are now led by Li Xiao. They will do whatever Li Xiao says, and there will be no discordant voices.

"Uh...! No problem!" Konishi Nagamasa was still confused and subconsciously agreed. In any case, he did not expect that today's mission would be completed so happily.

"Have you eaten before leaving?"

"Uh...! No need! General Tokugawa is still waiting for my news!" It was only then that Konishi Nagamasa finally woke up from his dazed state. In great joy, he stood up and said goodbye to Li Xiao,

On the way home!

"Brother! Why don't we ask for more conditions?" Li Xiu was also wondering about Erzhong, holding a knife in his hand and not killing him hard. This is not his character.

"Why ask for more conditions? Tokugawa Ieyasu cannot be overly weakened, and Mori Terumoto cannot be overly powerful. Two powerful daimyo, with a bunch of minor daimyo. This is what the Japanese country should be like, a unified Japanese country.

It's not good for us.

We even have to suppress Mouri Terumoto and prevent him from continuing to attack Tokugawa Ieyasu. So far, our most important thing is to keep Japan divided."

"What the boss means is that the Japanese country is in a state of division. Then everyone has to beg us, because as long as we side with whomever, whoever we side with will win. In this way, we can sit back and enjoy the benefits, and they will hand over the benefits to us.

In front of the boss." Ai Husheng admired Li Xiao's strategy as much as the mighty river.

Mangui snorted, he couldn't say anything about this kind of thing. He was a pure soldier, and fighting was his bounden duty. He was really too lazy to listen to these weird tricks.

"Ai Husheng, go talk to the Koreans and Terumoto Mouri. Tokugawa Ieyasu has asked for surrender, and everyone must stop hostilities. Let Hidetada Mouri withdraw to Hagi, and we will not be ambiguous about the benefits that should be given to them."

"No!" Ai Husheng agreed and went out to find Maori Terumoto. There was no need to tell the Koreans that Wakisaka Anji was killed by Li Xiao. Wu Daji once organized a large number of troops to attack Wakisaka Anji's remnant army.

.

The one who was killed in the end was miserable. Wakisaka Anji's men were maimed. Wu Daji was defeated. If he hadn't been afraid of Li Xiao's cannon, it is estimated that Wu Daji would have been driven into the sea to drink from the wind.

The combat effectiveness of the Korean army has become a famous joke. Wu Daji couldn't hold his head up in front of Li Xiao. If he hadn't brought a large amount of supplies to Li Xiao, Li Xiao wouldn't even bother to look at them. Such an army, even civilians

Not as good as anything.

Terumoto Mori was different. Under his command, Hidetada Mori commanded the army and kept fighting with Yoshiaki Kato. Yoshiaki Kato was afraid that Li Xiao would catch up, so he retreated while resisting. It is said that the resistance was very hard.

After hearing Li Xiao's order, Maori Terumoto sighed helplessly. In fact, at this time, if Li Xiao was willing to help him and defeat the Edo shogunate, it would not be difficult for him to become the new master of the Japanese country.

But it was obvious that Li Xiao was not prepared to help him.

It’s hard to say that Li Xiao betrayed the alliance, because at the beginning Li Xiao only agreed to help the Maori family get their fiefdom back. Now that Tokugawa Ieyasu has spit out his family’s fiefdom, Li Xiao has completed the agreement.

"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, for your protection. From now on, we, the Tagawa clan, will only obey your leadership." Tagawa Kojiro knelt down in front of Li Xiao and bowed his head to Li Xiao.

"I also want to thank Mr. Tagawa for your report. Don't worry. I will help you complete the interests of your Fertility Country." Li Xiao is really grateful to Tagawa Kojiro for his report. Without his report, Li Xiao would not have done anything.

Will handle it so calmly!

Looking at Tokugawa Ieyasu's ferocity that night, if he had been unprepared, he would have been charged by Tokugawa Ieyasu. Li Xiao knew very well what level of close combat his men were capable of. In any case, under close combat conditions

, these peasants armed with guns will not be the opponents of the samurai who have practiced swordsmanship since childhood.

"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief!" Tagawa Kojiro bowed again.

"Chief Commander, can you sell us some of your cannons? We are willing to pay a big price!" Seeing that Li Xiao wanted to see off his guests, Zheng Zhiyuan immediately made his request.

Li Xiao smiled and said nothing, just looked at Zheng Zhiyuan.

"Aren't you willing to sell the cannon to us? My father is going to fight the red-haired ghost. Without a cannon like yours, many people will die." Zheng Zhiyuan did not speak, but a seven or eight-year-old boy next to Zheng Zhiyuan suddenly opened his mouth and said

.The childish voice has a Shandong accent, and there is a heroic spirit in the eyebrows. Li Xiao likes it just looking at it.

"Fusong, don't talk nonsense." Zheng Zhiyuan quickly stopped him.

"General Officer, this is my eldest brother's eldest son Fusong. I came to Japan this time just to take him back to Quanzhou. What he said is true. My brother is about to go to war with the red-haired ghost. He urgently needs your cannon!

"

"My name is Zheng Sen!" Xiao Fusong protested dissatisfied.

Zheng Sen...! This name sounds familiar!

Li Xiao carefully looked at the child in front of him. He had a long face with thin eyebrows and phoenix eyes. His nose was lying down, but the bridge of his nose was very strong. He had a pair of big ears with big earlobes. His mouth was very small, much like a girl's cherry mouth. These parts

Alone, they don't look like much.

But they are very coordinated when put together. They are the kind that don't look good at first glance, but are quite attractive upon closer inspection.

Although he didn't remember who Zheng Sen was, Li Xiao knew that the person who had an impression in his mind was definitely a famous person in history.

There don't seem to be many powerful people named Zheng in the history of the late Ming Dynasty. Zheng Sen, Zheng Zhilong...! Zheng...! No way, could it be said that they belong to their family?

"Zheng Chenggong?" Li Xiao thought to himself and muttered.

"My name is Zheng Sen!" Little Zheng Sen introduced himself again, pouting his little mouth and looking angry.

"Oh, Zheng Sen!" Li Xiao remembered that at this time Zheng Chenggong was still called Zheng Sen. Zheng Chenggong changed his name later!

Historical celebrities! You need to get up close and personal with them!

Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Chenggong, father and son, can be regarded as the first maritime Ming family in the late Ming Dynasty. At that time, even the ships of the British, Dutch, Portuguese, Spanish and French had to pay taxes to the Zheng family.

In the late Ming Dynasty when imperialism had not yet taken shape, it really boosted the aspirations of the Chinese people.

"Mr. Zheng, I only have these two bronze cannons you mentioned. I really can't sell them to you!"

Hearing Li Xiao's words, Zheng Zhiyuan's face immediately darkened.

"My lord, Chief Military Officer, are you willing to teach me the art of battle formation?" Zheng Sen suddenly said.

"Uh...!" Zheng Zhiyuan looked at Li Xiao in embarrassment, his eyes a little confused. It was very rude for Zheng Sen to speak like this. If he wanted to become a disciple these days, his parents would have to bring gifts and come to worship in person. At Li Xiao's level

Such a person, the apprenticeship etiquette is even more cumbersome and terrifying.

Zheng Sen brought it up like this, and Zheng Zhiyuan was very embarrassed! He was afraid that Li Xiao would kick them out in anger. If that happened, the Tagawa family would be cheated.

"Okay!" Zheng Zhiyuan never thought that Li Xiao had no concept of apprenticeship ceremony in his mind. Not only did he not show any anger on his face, but he agreed straight away. This really surprised Zheng Zhiyuan!
